Third-Party Challenge and Presidential Nomination History
Tom Charles Huston argues third-party challenges to incumbent president nominations are historically rare due to party patronage and convention control.

He assesses Trump era dynamics, concluding a successful third-party bid remains unlikely absent clear abuse of nomination rules.
